Doku-Migration ins Wiki

[PaulHeller]

Hi Björn. On 23 June we discussed making an English version of the wiki. At the time we discussed embedding Google translate into the wiki site. I've been using the wiki with browser based language translation and the translation sometimes does not work well.

If we could get the pages translated (using google or Microsoft) as is, with all the strange translations that would there, we would have something close that native english speakers could gradually improve upon by replacing the translated text with proper english. Is there a way we can set up a top-level page for the version of the wiki so I could try this approach?

Hi Paul

In principle, yes. As I only converted existing content into the wiki, I'm not sure what's the best way to proceed here. Fred, do you have an opinion on this? I'm not sure how to facilitate that changes in one language will be applied to the other version.

Best regards

Hi All,

I'm quite sure that there is no "automatic" possibility. It's the obligation for any author to mark existing translations as outdated in case of any change to the 'initial' document.
What is more, the current version of the wiki seems to not support multi-language articles...

The Gesamtbeschreibung/Ethernet content seems stable, the last changes were a few weeks ago. If there's no objection, I'd start a translation (I've got a few free days ahead).

If we get the MediaWiki multi-language issue sorted out, we could still move the translated content into a true "translated" sub-page.

Best regards

It seems so, but in fact i'm going to issue a new version with lightly changed configuration options.
Please wait one week...

OK, just drop a line when you're finished

[PaulHeller]

Thanks for the efforts. Once the translation is done I can work on improving it.

Kannst loslegen mit der Anleitung für die Ethernetkarte. Noch eine Anregung: Kapitelverweise mit Nummern sind unglücklich, da im Fließtext auch keine Nummern vorkommen und durch zusätzliche Überschriften usw. auch die Gliederung im Inhaltsverzeichnis 'fluktuierend' ist. Dank Verlinkung genügt ja ein "siehe hier".

Die Anleitungen für das "Hauptsystem" wird noch in wenigen Punkten ergänzt.

Moin Fred,

Kannst loslegen mit der Anleitung für die Ethernetkarte. Noch eine Anregung: Kapitelverweise mit Nummern sind unglücklich, da im Fließtext auch keine Nummern vorkommen und durch zusätzliche Überschriften usw. auch die Gliederung im Inhaltsverzeichnis 'fluktuierend' ist. Dank Verlinkung genügt ja ein "siehe hier".

OK, danke für die Nachricht! Zu den numerischen Verweisen: Die hatte ich nur übernommen, um möglichst nah an der Vorlage zu bleiben. Weiß Bescheid

Grüße

Hello again guys

Sorry for the (rather long-ish ) delay. My excuses aren't half bad (first son, horribly failed construction work at home) but now I've got time for i-Telex again and I'll continue. I've already brought the English Ethernet card manual up to speed with the latest changes and will complete the translation in the coming days, and after that start with the other manual.

Best regards


Björn
